PlayStation Plus’ lucky dip of content not for everyone, probably for someone

Videogame ownership is so passé. Where once we purchased boxed copies at retail, it has been decided that the future of videogames is one filled with DRM, conditional ownership and the holy grail- monthly subscription fees.
Much of this has yet to come to pass, but in recent times we’ve seen ideas like OnLive threaten to [...]

Interview: David Rutter (FIFA 11)

I had the chance to speak to David, a producer at EA Sports Canada, at a recent presentation of new features for FIFA 11. Here’s what I managed to get out of him.
Would it be fair to say that because FIFA is a yearly product, the number of features you can add are limited somewhat?
Yes [...]

100 Word Review: Risk Factions

100 Word Review: Risk Factions

Converting a board game into a video game is tricky process. Risk: Factions attempts to straddle that line by having both a faithful recreation of the original game and a newly designed campaign mode. The two sit a little oddly together, with the cartoon characters and comedy dialogue jarring somewhat with the methodical, [...]

Editors’ Blog: APB Review: How Dave Jones got it wrong

My APB review has been somewhat gazumped by Dave Jones’ interview with Eurogamer, commenting on…well, commenting on APB reviews.
It’s all fairly polite and civil, so I’m loath to fly off on too much of a rant, but there are a couple of points in it that have a slightly unpleasant undercurrent, most particularly the suggestion, [...]

Review: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2011

To describe it as an annus horribilis for world golf’s most talented player would be an understatement. Electronic Arts have stuck by their man, though, and although forced to share the boxart with Irish wunderkind McIlroy, this year’s instalment in the long-running series arrives bang on schedule.
Questions deserve to be asked, however, about whether [...]

APB features voice chat adverts, The Onion predicts the future again

APB features voice chat adverts, The Onion predicts the future again

Eurogamer reports that Realtime Worlds’ forthcoming online cops and robbers game APB will feature audio adverts delivered via voice chat. It strikes me as remarkably similar to this faux news report from The Onion, reporting on a fictional development in Google’s phone technology. The video is titled “New Google Phone Service Whispers Targeted Ads Directly [...]

Preview: Child of Eden shows Kinect can do more than just Wii clones

While Microsoft’s press conference left me entirely unconvinced by Kinect, Ubisoft’s conference peaked my interest within seconds.  Watching Tetsuya Mizuguch stood in front of Kinect was like watching a conductor in front of an orchestra.  After all the promotional videos from Microsoft showing Minority Report levels of control, finally here is something showing what the [...]

Move’s Sorcery looks to trump Wii’s Skyward Sword

Move’s Sorcery looks to trump Wii’s Skyward Sword

Sorcery, a high fantasy action title in development by Sony Computer Entertainment for PlayStation Move, looks like the kind of game expected to flood the Wii’s library before players realized how limited the system’s motion control was when it first launched. But unlike Wii, it appears Move will launch as the most accurate motion control [...]
